SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 351,829, dated November 2, 1886.

Application filed February 10. 1886. Serial No. 191.445. (No speciniens.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ISRAEL D. DAVIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Stockton,in the county of San Joaquin, State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Medical Compounds as an lnvigorator, of which the following is a specification.

The said medical-compound consists of the following ingredients combined in the proportions stated, viz: pure water, twenty gallons; root of the mandrake, (Podophyllum pelictum,) one-half pound; twigs and leaves of the spruce pine, (Pinus Lumber-Hana) five pounds; twigs and leaves of worm wood, (Artemisia abst'hthz'zma) one pound; root of the dew berry, (Rubus trivial la) one pound; pine gum, (Pinus Lamberiianm) one pound; leaves of the wild peach, (Eridictyon glutinosmn,) one pound; poke-root, (Phyfolacca deccandrca) one-half pound; prickly-ash bark, (Xanflzorylum framinezma) onehalf pound.

The solid ingredients are first steeped in and their strength extracted by boiling in the quantity of water above mentioned. The liquid solution thus obtained is thenfiltered and clarified and permitted to cool.

It is then bottled for sale and use, the corks of the vials and bot- I tles beinghermetically sealed. The wild peach is indigenous to California, and is very efficaeious in cases of rheumatism.

This compound is used in accordance with the following directions, to wit: For adults, a wine-glassiul three times a day an hour before eating; for children, one half the above quantity to be taken. If the effect he griping, or

. the evacuation of the bowels be too severe,

root, Wormwood leavesand twigs, and pricklyash bark, in the proportions specified. In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
